| INTRODUCTION | |
The Summary Evaluation Questionnaire was developed to assist in evaluating the instructional processes of career and technology education programs. It is designed for use by both the local teacher in conducting a comprehensive self-evaluation and by an external evaluation team. The questionnaire is divided into 11 sections, corresponding to the 11 standards of quality program operations. These standards or ?best practices? have been endorsed by the State Board of Career and Technology Education. Each standard is followed by a series of rating scale questions or quality indicators that further define the standard. Some questions are identified as State Board Rules, and these questions must be met in order to meet the standard. The quality indicators may vary among occupational divisions due to unique considerations within those divisions. The sum total rankings of the State Board Rules and quality indicators below each standard will serve as a ranking of the standard. The ranking of each standard and the corresponding narrative section will be recorded and reported in the final evaluation report. |
|
| DIRECTIONS | |
Evaluators using this instrument should strive to rate the quality indicators for each program evaluated in relationship to the standards. Comparing one program with another may result in distorting evaluative information and is highly discouraged. Questionnaire Rating To complete the questionnaire, carefully read each standard and the quality indicators that follow. Questions related to State Board Rules are enclosed in a shaded area and are grouped at the beginning of each standard. For each question, the evaluator should indicate if the State Board Rules are met or not met by marking the appropriate box in the column on the right. |
|
All other quality indicators are assessed by circling the appropriate rating in the column on the right. The numbers on the rating scale indicate the following: |
|
Exceeds Standard---------------------------------------- |
5=Outstanding 4=Above Minimum Standard |
| Meets Standard------------------------------------------ | 3=Meets Minimum Standard |
| Falls Below Standard------------------------------------- | 2=Below Minimum Standard 1=Poor (Major Improvement needed.) |

Suggested Activities for Teachers For each standard, there is a suggested list of documents to review or activities to perform as the teacher rates the standard. The teacher should use these suggestions as a guide but not as a limitation in reviewing the educational experiences. Mark the standard met or not met and, under the question section, rate how well the standard is being met. Narrative Comments In the Comments section, provide comments on how the standard is met. Provide examples of situations as evidence the standard is being met. For low ratings, write examples of what could be done to address the deficiencies. Suggested Activities for Evaluators For each standard, there is a suggested list of documents to review or activities to perform as the evaluator rates the standard. The evaluator should use these suggestions as a guide, but not as a limitation, in reviewing the program. Narrative Comments The Comments section of the questionnaire should be used to note specific program characteristics for which recommendations or commendations need to be made. Items rated below standard should be accompanied by realistic statements on how they can be improved. These notes should be used to write the Commendations and Strengths section, the Specific Recommendations for Improvement section, and the General Suggestions for Improvement section at the conclusion of the evaluation (see pages following Standard 11.)

Recognizing that the major objective of career and technology education is the gainful employment of the student, a systematic program of job placement and follow-up is essential. As evidence of efforts to achieve this objective, each local educational institution shall maintain student enrollment, placement, and follow-up records on all students who have enrolled. These records must be maintained in accordance with divisional requirements and reported as requested to the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. Each instructor purporting to train students for gainful employment shall assist career major completers in job placement and maintain placement records. In exploratory educational experiences where students move from one career major to another, completers should be assisted in continuing their occupational education or assisted in job placement. Enrollment, placement, continuing education, and follow-up records should be maintained. | |||
